Decided to turn on my bloom lights on my Optic 2 Gen 3 LED which incrediblely increased the temp so lucky 🍀 I have a carbon filter from ac infinity “4 and a inline fan from Vivosun which really work great to suck the stagnant hot air out of my 32”x32”x72” tent. Other then that have been feeding these girl Urb& liquid seaweed and they seem to be loving it. Would love to make a compost tea soon.

Doing her thing. I gave her quite a heavy trim, noticed a LOT of leaves around main cola. Hopefully light can penetrate into the main cola now. Trichomes going cloudy now.

Amazing experience with the Mix Pack, I will try it again next summer for sure. Love the variety.

Hindu Kush isn't doing so great. I changed the solution 2 days ago. I am hopeful that it fixes it. She will likely be getting switched out into another room so the bigger plants can flower and not get too big on me. So she will be a long grow if she makes it. Thanks again Spider Farmer, Athena, and Divine Seeds. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g.

📆 Week 9, 7-13 December 2023 7-13 December - Continued with simple adjustment of branches to receive maximum light. There was no defoliation of any leaf this week. Her growth rate has slowed and I believe she is heading in to the bulking stage. I’m satisfied with her size at this point. 8 December - Turned light power from 50% up to 75%, and raised lights from 18” to 21” from top of plant to facilitate the bulking phase of flowering. 📑 Let’s briefly discuss light and umol/m2/s or PPFD. First of all its all about numbers. Is there an agreeable starting point on these figures - the cannabis plant requires between 100-300 PPFD in seedling, 400-700 PPFD in vegetation, and 800-1000 PPFD in flower. It can go up to 1500 PPFD with certain C02 concentrations. I believe this may be generally accepted. Never being much of a numbers person, in ways I avoid it. I’ve grown indoor weed for a long time without a fancy device to tell me what this number was, the plant did that. A quality light and the plant itself will talk to each other in a matter of hours sometimes, days in others, I just need observe. But what I have come to realize the past few years is that these numbers, found in simple instruments (apps for smart phones) give us a very specific area of where she is within all these spectrums. It allows us more precision and insight to what would otherwise be a possible weak or vulnerable spot within our grow. I’ll use mine on a new strain, and to verify any questions. They are easily accessible tools for the common gardner. When we adjust our lights we can measure what will be optimal for our plant. Using my case in point; from: 50% power or 890 PPFD at 18” to: 75% power or 1080 PPFD at 21” **if not raised 3” - that number would have been 1320 PPFD - likely damage the plant - or raised any higher there would be no real benefit in what I’m attempting to achieve - likely waste of power** The 2023 ViperSpectra XS2000 lights (the ones I use) come with a new switch now that go from 25, 50, 75, 100% power and no option in between. So that kind of put a kink in a week or two during my grows I have to work around. Going from 50-75% power is a big shift in light intensity, and these lights are bright. Knowing what that number is and being able to adjust the height precisely to avoid damage is reassuring. I appreciate advancements that make growing a little easier. In most personal grows during flower I’ll go well over 1000 PPFD depending on the strain tolerance, without C02. Here are my experiences why: 1) my set-up allows it, 2) that number only reflects the greatest reading at the highest point on the plant - my reports, 3) when the plant is budding it is absorbing much more photons than when in the leafy only stage - everything is accelerated - this is a totally different discussion, 4) the additional light provided will proportionally increase a higher yield, and finally, 5) some of todays theories on light will change in 5 years, as it has from 10 years before, we still have a lot to research. LEDs are definately cream of the crop, but there is something new to learn I’m sure. Until then I can only tweak what I have in search for a tighter bud, higher in THC. I said I would briefly discuss this subject. Everything is possible with lights. It is science that says the cannabis plant does not have to produce secondary metabolites (trichomes and cannabinoids), in some cases it may not. It produces them based on its environment. She returns to you what you dedicate toward her. Something to keep in mind when deciding what kind of light to use to while trying to grow quality cannabis. 🍽️ Nutrient change on 7 December 🐲 Feeding schedule updated 7 December 🌊 Using reverse osmosis water with EC/TDS at 0 🐉 Nutrient Solution EC 2.1 at 65 degrees F 💡 Light power at 75% That is it for this week. Thanks for the look, read and stopping by.

9/10: New week, pictures are worth thousands of words.. will have more to say later- 9/11: I waited to long to transplant them and they have root problems to some degree or another...too wet for too long. I transplanted both of them into 3 gallon pots and observed about 50% brownish roots on both of them. 😕 I powdered the planting holes with myco, tricho, and other goodness. I added two Mars Hydro 150w lights, and a 60w 6500k LED panel light since they are all spread out now. The average CCT is still a little over 4800k, even though the Mars are a little warmer color temp than the Viparspectras. 9/12: Between the root problems and the transplant, they looked horrible, so I sprayed them with BoomBoom Spray today and will do a good root drench tomorrow with BushDoctor Boomerang. They looked better by the end of day, but still have a ways to go to get back on track... 9/17: I fed them boomerang only twice this week, and also gave them kangaroots yesterday. One of them is still kinda droopy looking..hopefully she snaps out of it soon. I'll prolly flip to 13/11 with emerson effect in the next couple of days.

Hey Growmies, Let’s kick off another competition journey — this time with Auto Glue XXL from Izzi Seeds! Every time I see “Glue,” my expectations automatically go up 😄 let’s see what this girl has to offer. It’s my first time running seeds from Izi, so curiosity is high. Let the journey begin 😉🌱

Comienza el lavado de raíces con riego de flawles finish para que la planta absorba sus reservas. En el vídeo se aprecia como burbujea el sistema casero de co2 en base a mezcla de fermentación.

She looks gorgeous,super healthy and green, she's definitely loving the super soil I prepared for her, seems to be developing very good after the topping let's see how she turns out. I also applied a selective defoliation to uncover the lower growth on july 25th she was planted on june 22nd so she's 33 days old now,let's see what happens with this beautiful lady😊💚❤️💛 peace ✌️

Start of week 5! Plants are doing great! Still some P & K deficiencies showing, but overall the bud development is phenomenal on the blueberries and is coming along nicely on the super lemon haze. I am still feeding an extra 2 liters to the Slh, this time at full dosage of part A & B, this seems to have helped with this past week (4). The blueberry are super sticky and smell amazing!

I’ll be harvesting this lady next week! Super frosty and very happy with the yield and density considering she is in a tiny coke can 8.5 oz. Smells sweet, dense, and yummy! Just trying to keep her upright and watered—- starting to flush now. ✌️💚🌿💨
